Rome tax court applies margin-based betting tax to Stanleybet
Rome’s tax court applied the margin method to Stanleybet and its data transmission centres, following a principle set out by Italy’s Court of Cassation, according to the report. The court said documented bets, winnings and financial flows could support calculation of the taxable margin even without connection to the national totalisator.
The ruling supports margin-based tax calculations for betting operators whose activity is documented outside the national totalisator.
